Hi Kay,
I support the suggestion of Liz, if you are used to using FTM 2011
then stay with FTM.
However, FTM 2011 wont run on a Mac, so you need to get the latest
version FTM 2017, the DVD or USB stick has both the PC and Mac
versions on them.
As for B), yes, you can import a GEDCOM into FTM 2017.
Regards
Graeme Simpson

Hi Kay,
I would stick with Family tree maker. Do you still have the CD then
maybe you can load onto Mac. I'm not sure whether I still have any
of your tree on my old lap top. I will check it out then I can send
it to you when you get sorted.

Subject: [CATLEY] Dear catleys
I need some help...
We had crypto locker infect our P.C a couple of years ago, and my
family tree files got locked up. Ransomware I think it was...
Before that happened, I had sent a copy of the file to a cousin of
Bill's in Cornwall..
Situation now, is that my daughter has given us a Mac computer,
that she doesn't want and the Cornish cousin is coming out to visit
us in a week or so...
Currently...I have not got a family tree program on the Mac, and I
think the Cornish cousin has put my old info on a gedcom file...I
was using family tree maker before, on the PC, probably about 2011
version...I had about 5000 souls on it.
Having a stroke 4 years ago means my brain isn't as sharp as it was,
although I'm lucky, it's not bad....bill and I both struggling with
new technology....specially Apple.
A) what family tree program should I buy for the Mac?
B) will the gedcom file work/download onto A) above.?
C) Cornish cousin is pretty sharp and he will try and help, but I
would like to have some clue, and all suggestions appreciated...
Please keep hints to a very simple level.
Best wishes to you all...we saw Tim recently in uk, but getting
older and poorer and more doddery meant we couldn't manage anything
more ambitious. If I can recover half what I had I will be utterly
thrilled and amazed...
Love from
Kay xxx
